Fights

Conor McGregor told Floyd Mayweather he can take that olive branch he offered and shove it ... saying, "There is no peace here, kid."

Remember ... Floyd gushed over McGregor to TMZ Sports on Monday, calling the Irish fighter a "warrior" and even inviting him to train for the Khabib fight at the Mayweather Boxing Club in Vegas.

But Conor clearly wants no part of that ... declining Floyd's offer on Tuesday with a fat middle finger.

"F*ck the Mayweathers, except Senior and Roger," Conor said.

"There is no peace here, kid. Step up or step down."

Floyd responded to Conor's tweet later Tuesday night by posting a pic from the fight ... saying "Easiest 9 figures I ever made!"

Obviously ... there's still bad blood on Conor's end from when the two fought in the boxing ring last August. McGregor lost ... and then had to deal with Floyd's trash talk over their Forbes List rankings (Floyd #1, Conor #4) a few months later.

Eryk Anders' opponent at UFC Fight Night really made an impression ... leaving his TEETH MARKS in Eryk's shin bone after he KO'd the dude with a leg strike to the face!!!

Anders was fighting Tim Williams on Saturday night -- and delivered the punishing blow with his left leg while Williams was trying to get up off the ground.

"His teeth marks are definitely in my shin," Anders said ... noting that his foot is fine and dandy after the fight.

By the way, Anders was a big college football star back in the day -- he was a linebacker on the 2009 Alabama BCS National Championship team and his sack in the 4th quarter sealed the game over Texas.

On top of that, Anders had a free agent contract with the Cleveland Browns after his Bama days ... as well as stints in the CFL and Arena Football League before taking fighting seriously full-time.

Now, he's an MMA fighter -- and he's a good one, too. So far, the 31-year-old has already racked up an impressive 11-1 record with some violent finishes.

UFC knockout artist Justin Gaethje says his violent beatdown of James Vick this weekend felt "amazing" for him -- but for the other guy?

"It was the most terrifying night of that man's life."

Yeah, he ain't lyin'.

Gaethje joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs weeknights on FS1) -- and said it was actually a "scary moment" for Vick ... 'cause getting KO'd is no joke.

"I've been there man. It's scary actually. His brain ... it's like a reset button on your forehead. It's like someone presses it every 30 seconds."

Gaethje was the #7 ranked lightweight fighter in the UFC going into the fight. Vick was ranked #10. The fight ended 90 seconds into the first round when Justin threw a crushing overhand right.

Gaethje says he actually felt bad for Vick -- a little bit -- but in the moment he was focusing on his accomplishment and "it feels f**king amazing."

Despite all the trash talk before the fight, Justin says there's no hard feelings anymore -- because it's way easier to squash beef after you almost knock your opponent's head off.

"It's a painful way to go out."

Arghhhhh ... the star of the VH1 reality show "Black Ink Crew" is also a PIRATE who allegedly stole the Floyd Mayweather, Conor McGregor fight -- this according to a new lawsuit.

Ceaser Emanuel -- who owns the Black Ink tattoo shop featured on the show -- is being sued for a FORTUNE after he allegedly rigged the TVs at the parlor to play the fight without paying the proper fees.

Remember, the fight cost most people $99 on Pay-Per-View -- but if you wanted to show the fight in a commercial business, you had to pay thousands of dollars extra in licensing fees.

Well, according to the suit ... Emanuel was so cheap, he tried to bob and weave his way out of the fees by illegally obtaining the fight and showing it at his Atlanta location ... hoping he wouldn't get caught.

Problem is ... the company in charge of the licensing, Joe Hand Promotions, said they busted him red-handed.

Floyd Mayweather has a warning for Khabib Nurmagomedov -- Conor McGregor is coming for your head!!

One year after Floyd and Conor faced off in the boxing ring, TBE says he learned firsthand McGregor is a "warrior" who's not afraid of anything ... and he's passing on a warning to his UFC 229 opponent.

"Conor's not gonna back down and he's not a scared fighter at all, win, lose or draw," Mayweather said at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City ... "Conor gonna come to fight."

Despite their rivalry, Floyd says he actually wants to HELP Conor this time around ... saying he'd love for CM to train at his home gym in Vegas.

"I know that UFC got a training facility but we'd like for him to work out at the Mayweather Boxing Club."

So, who's Floyd picking to win the fight?

"I don't really have a prediction because I've never seen the guy fight that's facing Conor McGregor -- from what I know he's a hell of a guy that's on the ground -- hell of a grappler -- and he can wrestle."

"But, the fans want to see you stand up and fight. That's what the fans like to see. But, Conor McGregor, he's a tough competitor, like I said before Conor McGregor's not gonna back down from anyone, he's not scared, he's a warrior."

50 Cent will only be showing up on "Power" from here on out in flashbacks -- if at all -- but don't think that's got the guy down ... he's still reaping what the series sows.

We got Fiddy on the streets of NYC -- where his own character Kanan was gunned down by the NYPD in Sunday night's episode (whoops, spoiler alert here) -- and he says he's got no worries about the fate of his show without him ... 'cause true fans are ride or die.

50 makes a bold claim -- "Power" is doing very well now, and will continue to do so with or without him on screen. Time will tell, we suppose. Either way, he's got an EP credit attached ... so he'll still have a check coming in from the Starz hit show at the end of the day.

As for that shooting on the set of his newest music video with Tekashi69, which fortunately left no one inured ... get the strap, literally.

6:56 PM PT -- Vince Russo, the former WWE writer who said he reached out to Jason Sensation, has reportedly said he was able to get in touch with Jason, and everything is fine. Russo allegedly claimed Jason told him he was only joking, and was nowhere near the arena. The show has gone on as planned.

A WWE fan threatened suicide at a "WWE Raw" event in Toronto after claiming he snuck his gun into the venue ... and vowing to off himself on the air.

The man -- who goes by Jason Sensation online -- tweeted out an ominous message Monday afternoon, saying ... "I got my gun through security & will shoot myself in the head & kill myself during tonight's #RAW in Toronto. Don't ya dare miss it!!! Thanks for the memories @WWE."

Jason has some history with WWE -- he portrayed wrestler Owen Hart during a comedy skit in the late '90s. His Twitter bio also said that he's battling depression.

Law enforcement sources tell us Toronto PD is aware of Jason's tweet, and is currently looking into the matter. However, we're told no evacuation of the area is currently planned.

Multiple people in the WWE community -- including ex-WWE writer Vince Russo -- have been reaching out to Jason, pleading with him to reconsider and refrain from any potential violence.

UFC star Junior Dos Santos -- a former heavyweight champ -- claims he's been FALSELY identified as the violent maniac who knocked out several people in a nightclub rampage ... and he's pissed.

The video is insane -- showing a muscular dude dancing in a club on August 19 before another patron accidentally bumps into him. That's when it all goes to hell.

The man in the video explodes -- throwing haymakers at EVERYONE and sleeping dudes left and right. One of the men was knocked out cold and looked to be seriously injured.

The maniac continues brutalizing everyone in his path while onlookers try -- in vain -- to control him.

The security footage was posted online and identifies Junior by his nickname, "Cigano."

But, we spoke with Junior's attorney who is adamant the assailant is NOT her client -- claiming he was in Turks and Caicos with his family at the time and didn't set foot in a nightclub that evening.

We're told Junior's team has already reported the video to YouTube in the hopes of removing Junior's name from the title and description, claiming it's already hurting his reputation.

Trey Songz is not in the clear yet for an alleged attack on a woman back in February ... she's now suing the singer.

As we reported, Andrea Buera insists the incident went down at a Hollywood party during NBA All-Star Weekend. Songz was arrested for the alleged attack, and although the L.A. City Attorney and the D.A. declined misdemeanor and felony charges for lack of evidence. ... Buera is pressing forward with a civil lawsuit.

According to docs, Trey ran after her -- because she was talking to another guy -- and choked her and punched her several times in the face. Andrea claims the beating only stopped because one of the singer's bodyguards intervened.

Andrea says Songz further humiliated her when he demanded she take off her shorts because they belonged to his friend.

She says her left eye was swollen shut, and she suffered bruises around her jaw and shoulders. Her legs were also bruised and scratched.

Nate Diaz says Bruce Buffer is OUT OF HIS MIND if he thinks he'll ever "bow" to Dana White and the UFC ... saying, "I bow down to no one ever!"

Diaz is reacting to comments Buffer made the other day when Bruce told TMZ Sports ... Nate should stop the complaining about the UFC since he's made MILLIONS fighting in the Octagon.

And instead of being bitter, Bruce said Nate should be "thanking the UFC and bowing to Dana White every time you see him."

We should note that Bruce explained he's a HUGE fan of Nate -- and wants to see Diaz have even more success.

But, Nate didn't take the comments well and fired back at Buffer -- saying, "Bruce Buffer wtf get off the Ufc nuts."

He continued, "[You're] bowing down right now tellling me to bow down? f*ck that u keep bowing down."

"I Bow down to no one ever for alll the money n the world."

Diaz added, "With all do respect @brucebuffer."

And get this ... Buffer has already responded.

"With all respect Nate that is not what I meant by saying the word 'bow,' I meant it as a sign of respect as in when greeting someone, not a sign of submission as I’d never expect you to do that for anyone."

Bruce is one of the nicest guys in the biz -- we're guessing the two will find a way to squash the beef.

As for Nate, he's upset with the UFC -- claiming Dana White and company hasn't promoted him the way he thinks he should be promoted.

White, on the other hand, has said he's offered Diaz several fights over the years but Nate has turned them all down for no good reason.

Diaz accepted a fight against Dustin Poirier at UFC 230 in November -- but he's already threatened to pull out, claiming he's still pissed at the UFC.

The YouTube superstars' superfight night in Manchester, England -- featuring Logan Paul vs. KSI and Jake Paul vs. Deji -- is over ... after the judges called the second battle of the bros a draw.

The 2 went the 6-round distance in an entertaining and exhausting fight, but in the end KSI's hand was raised ... along with Logan's.

The judges' scorecards came out to a majority draw, which can only mean one thing -- REMATCH!!

As for the fight ... Logan dominated the first 2 rounds by landing a number of jabs and body shots, but the momentum seemed to turn after KSI threw a cheap shot after the bell at the end of round 2 ... causing Jake to angrily jump in the ring.

After that, KSI's energy level looked much higher than Logan's -- especially in the final round -- as he threw a series of violent haymakers ... many of which connected.

Earlier, Logan's younger bro Jake defeated Deji in the 5th round by knockout after wearing him down with a flurry of punches in the previous 2 rounds. Deji's corner threw in the towel as Jake continued his barrage in the fifth.

The 2 were aggressive from the opening bell, throwing jabs and hooks and landing head and body shots galore ... and Jake's bloody face in round 1 showed the damage.

He was able to recover, though ... and seemed to have more stamina and composure as the fight went on.

As we reported ... Logan and KSI came face-to-face Friday for weigh-ins one final time before they entered the ring to pummel each other ... and brought the insults.

KSI decided to go after L.P.'s girlfriend, Chloe Bennet ... by walking onto the stage wearing a mask of the "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." star's face. Logan hit back with a jab at KSI's apparent bad breath ... by giving him some gum.

Both bros have been training like maniacs for months, with KSI crushing his boxing workouts and Logan brutalizing his sparring partner in a training sesh.

As for the Jake fight ... he predicted a 1st-round KO of Deji when asked by legendary boxing announcer Michael Buffer at Friday's weigh-in. Deji responded by calling Jake "delusional."

Two days earlier ... Jake slapped Deji in the face when KSI's little bro crashed his gym where he was meeting up with fans for autographs and pics.

If Cris Cyborg beats up Amanda Nunes ... there's a bad ass 2-time Olympic gold medalist who wants a piece of her ... and she ain't after a participation trophy.

Kayla Harrison -- who won gold in judo in London (2012) and Rio (2016) -- and is 2 and 0 in MMA ... told TMZ Sports she has her sights set on the most feared female fighter on the planet ... Cyborg.

"I want to be the best, and right now Cris Cyborg is considered the best probably pound for pound female ever."

Now, Kayla ain't saying she's ready for Cris -- who has 20 wins and only 1 loss -- just yet ... but she does have her eye set on the legendary champ ... and is determined to step in the cage with Cyborg.

The man who got pummeled by Kourtney Kardashian's ex says he's going to sue Drake and Odell Beckham Jr. ... because he believes they're responsible for the attack.

The victim -- Bennett Sipes -- has lawyered up and they don't just have Kourtney's ex, Younes Bendjima, in their crosshairs. TMZ broke the story ... Younes beat the crap out of Bennett outside Delilah restaurant in WeHo back in March, as Drake, Odell and their posses looked on.

Sipes' lawyer, Colin Jones at the Wilshire Law Firm, tells TMZ ... he learned from speaking to his client and witnesses that his client's girlfriend -- famed Instagram model Sommer Ray -- was hanging in the VIP section of the club during the evening, chatting with Odell. Toward the end of the night, Sipes -- who was an employee of Delilah, but not working that night -- went to the VIP section to get his GF, and Odell was none too pleased.

What happened next is unclear. It seems words were exchanged, but it did not get physical. Cut to around 2:30 AM, when Drake, Odell and their crews left through the back door. That's when Sipes appeared, said something, and Younes unleashed a barrage of punches, and was joined by another man.

Attorney Jones believes the other man who began punching was a member of either Drake's or Odell's security team, which would make them responsible for what the guy did.

Sources connected with the group say Sipes was the aggressor in the VIP area, and incited them as they left. They also say Drake and Odell had nothing to do with the fight.

Jones said he had no idea Younes was the guy who delivered the initial flurry of punches until he saw the video we posted Wednesday, and that was enough to commit to a lawsuit.

Sipes was pretty badly beaten as you can see. Jones says his client is still going through physical therapy, months after the attack.

As we reported, Sipes went to the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. and filed a police report, but has been uncooperative since ... so the investigation's closed.

Logan Paul and KSI just faced off one final time before they try to kill each other in the ring ... with the superfight weigh-ins going down Friday afternoon in Manchester ... and, of course, there were more insults.

KSI continued to go after L.P.'s girlfriend, Chloe Bennet ... walking onto the stage wearing a mask of the "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." star's face.

Logan hit back with a jab of his own by giving KSI some chewing gum ... to suggest his breath stinks?

It's no secret ... these 2 social media superstars have been training their asses off for this moment ... and tensions are high.

The undercard fighters -- little bros Jake Paul and Deji -- didn't meet face-to-face during Friday's event after the 2 got in an altercation at Jake's fan meet and greet earlier this week.

Legendary boxing announcer Michael Buffer asked Jake for a prediction ... he said he's gunning for a 1st-round KO.

Deji responded by calling Jake "delusional" ... and claiming it was Paul 's decision not to weigh in at the same time because he's scared.

Organizers for Jay-Z's Made in America Festival are taking ZERO chances when Tekashi69 performs next month ... they've beefed up security to avoid the violence that seems to follow the rapper.

A rep for the Mayor's Office of Philadelphia tells TMZ ... event producers are taking extra precautions to ensure the festival remains safe for everyone. Tons of huge rappers are set to take the stage during Labor Day weekend ... including Hova, Kendrick Lamar, Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill.

But, get this ... while there's already a massive security plan in place for the entire weekend, the rep tells us organizers are pouring a significantly heavier detail specifically to cover Tekashi's performance.

As you know ... 6ix9ine and 50 Cent came under fire when someone fired at least 11 shots during their filming of a music video in Brooklyn last week. Tekashi had also been beefing with Chief Keef, who was targeted by shooters back in June. Tekashi denied any involvement.

Sources with knowledge of the situation tell us the extra security did not come at Tekashi's request. We're told he had planned to roll with his usual security detail, but organizers clearly thought more was better.

Drake and Odell Beckham Jr. watched as Kourtney's ex, Younes Bendjima, viciously beat a man outside a West Hollywood restaurant ... and TMZ has the video.

It went down March 24 at Delilah restaurant at 2:15 AM. Drake, Odell and at least a dozen other guys are leaving through the back door of the club when an employee throws open the door leading to the parking lot.

The employee mouths something to the group, which clearly pisses them off, and Younes delivers a flurry of punches to the employee's head. Another member of the crew jumps in and delivers his own series of punches as the victim appears to go down. Younes grabs the guy's hair and continues the assault.

A source who was there tells TMZ the victim "talked smack" as he opened the door for the group.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, the employee filed a police report, but changed his mind and decided not to pursue the matter.
